Analysis · NRIX · Life Sciences
A wider Q2 net loss of $89.5 million, driven by lower collaboration revenue, was offset by a strong cash position of $443.5 million. When the expected $700 million Roche upfront payment is included, pro-forma cash reaches approximately $1.14 billion, extending the runway well beyond 12 months. R&D spending jumped 12% to $87.7 million, fueled by the bexobrutideg Phase 2 trial. The company also amended its Sanofi collaboration to allow continued research on STAT6 and another target. Against the backdrop of the recent Roche deal and positive clinical data, the financials show a company investing heavily in its lead asset while maintaining a strong cash position.
